414: Chapter 414 Junior Sister is the Most Thoughtful

"It's not that I have any clear purpose."

Chen Xuan's expression was indifferent, his tone calm and rippleless. "When passing through Camel Bell Ferry earlier, I happened to encounter the appearance of the guixu immortal ferry boat, so I just mentioned it to you in passing."

"Opportunities are things that I'm lucky to obtain and destined to lose; they cannot be forced."

Chen Xuan spoke these words candidly, without a hint of pretense. After all, with System-Bro by his side, he only needed to follow the steps and cultivate steadily. One day, he would naturally ascend to the peak of the Nine Provinces.

Those so-called Natural Treasures and Magic Treasures were merely icing on the cake for him. It was good to obtain them, but even if he didn't, it wouldn't harm his Great Dao Foundation.

In contrast, the ordinary Disciples in those Sects were truly pitiable.

On the path of a Cultivator, the most terrifying thing is being able to see the end at a glance, not even knowing where one's immortal path could extend to, only able to hesitate and linger in place, eventually wearing away all of one's Dao Heart.

For Chen Xuan, the gains from taking in Disciples were actually higher and greater than the guixu immortal ferry boat.

A-Qi gazed into the clear and candid eyes of the Man in White Robes beside him. Seeing his expression was calm and rippleless, without a hint of concealment, the heart that had been hanging finally settled slightly.

Immediately after, he offered a sincere praise: "Fellow Daoist's mindset is indeed rare."

"In the past, countless Cultivators hoped to board that guixu immortal ferry boat, hoping to leap over the dragon gate from then on."

"And do you want to as well?"

Chen Xuan asked back.

A-Qi let out a 'ji-ji' self-deprecating laugh, his claws scratching his head. "Back when I was still cultivating hard in the Sect, I did have those unrealistic delusions, but now... forget it."

"So to speak, Fellow Daoist has seen that guixu immortal ferry boat?"

A-Qi pondered for a moment, his expression turning solemn as he spoke. "In the former Yuquan Void Palace, there was a Cultivator with extraordinary talent, one could say he was brilliant and stunning. Although I don't know if there will be successors in later generations, back then, he truly could be called unprecedented. His mastery of the art of deduction was superb, repeatedly helping the Sect avoid disasters of extermination. In just ten short years, he allowed Yuquan Void Palace to rank among the first-class powers of the era."

At this point, A-Qi couldn't help but sigh. "Until the last time, he deduced that an immortal ferry boat would appear. If one could board this boat, it could help the Human Race reverse the current predicament. For this sliver of Opportunity, the major Sects sent out many powerful experts one after another to search for the traces of the guixu immortal ferry boat."

Mu Wanqing and her group followed closely behind A-Qi, quietly listening to these buried past events. At this moment, she couldn't help but ask: "Did Yuquan Void Palace go as well?" Cant help asking.

A-Qi nodded. "The Sect dispatched fifty Cultivators to go along with that Prodigy."

At this point, a trace of unavoidable disappointment flickered in his eyes. "But no one expected the guixu immortal ferry boat to be so dangerous. Of those from the Sect who went together, only five people returned alive in the end."

"Although they did bring back many techniques, Divine Abilities, and Sharp Weapons, this near-death experience ultimately made countless Cultivators pale at the mention of it, their hearts filled with dread."

Hearing this, Chen Xuan's brow furrowed slightly, and he asked in a deep voice: "Do you know what happened?"

A-Qi took a deep breath and spat out two words: "Natural disaster!"

These two words exploded in the air like a thunderclap, causing the surrounding atmosphere to instantly become solemn.

Chen Xuan: "..."

Wait, are you treating me like one of those Demon Race Cultivators?

"Does this natural disaster refer to..." Before he could finish his sentence, A-Qi suddenly stopped his pace.

"We have arrived."

As the words fell, the previously narrow and cramped passage suddenly disappeared, and a bluestone square about the size of a football field opened up before their eyes.

In the center of the square, a towering and ancient stone gate stood quietly. The stone patterns were vigorous, with faint spiritual light flowing, showing at a glance that it was by no means an ordinary object.

A-Qi looked up at the stone gate and slowly explained: "Inside the gate are stored rare treasures collected by the Sect through the generations, as well as the Legacy insights left behind by various Elders from their lifelong comprehension."

"Originally, only the Sect Master's Personal Disciple was qualified to step into this place."

Chen Xuan smiled slightly and naturally took up the conversation: "But now, it's better to fulfill the destinies of those with an affinity, lest these supreme Legacies remain buried here and be cut off forever."

A-Qi nodded slowly: "Everyone is free to take what they can based on their own abilities."

Chen Xuan's gaze swept over the Disciples of the Tiangong Pavilion before him, his tone indifferent:

"Those who are interested, go and give it a try."

He wasn't about to hog these soul-ring Legacies for himself. After befriending the Tiangong Pavilion, he might even be able to exchange for more Mechanical Beasts in the future.

Judging solely by the Aptitude and Heart-Nature of these few Disciples, the future Dao Seeking Sect would surely be a scene of a hundred flowers blooming together.

It was by no means comparable to those specialized Sects in the world that only cultivated the Dao of the sword or specialized solely in Talismans.

The dozen or so Tiangong Pavilion Disciples looked at each other, their eyes burning with fervor. They all agreed and walked quickly toward the stone gate.

Mu Wanqing looked at the mysterious gate, her heart eager to try, yet also slightly concerned.

She hesitated for a moment, then quietly leaned toward the Sand-Devouring Rat and asked in a low voice: "Senior A-Qi, inside here... there won't be any danger, right?"

"Legacy opportunities are inherently accompanied by some tests. Some physical injuries are unavoidable."

A-Qi said indifferently, "But this is only a trial set by the Sect Elders; there is absolutely no danger to one's life."

"Physical injuries?"

Yu Qingyan's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she chimed in.

After seeing A-Qi nod, she stepped into it without hesitation.

The other party was left somewhat bewildered.

Chen Xuan raised his hand and gently patted Mu Wanqing's shoulder. "As the Eldest Disciple, shouldn't you be setting an example for your Junior Brothers and Sisters right now?"

"Ah?"

Mu Wanqing's eyes instantly brightened as she hurriedly looked for an excuse: "Revered Master, after killing demons in the city earlier, the spiritual energy in my body is too depleted. I need to rest and recover first."

Chen Xuan gave a casual wave, and a bottle of azure spirit pills floated lightly in front of her.

"Take it, and you will recover."

The girl's small mouth immediately pouted, and she took a few steps forward to grab Chen Xuan's sleeve, starting to act spoiled and shamelessly: "Revered Master, how about we wait and see what it's like when those people come out before deciding..."

"My father used to teach me that a good thing is never too late."

"Fine, then after I return to the Sect, I'll ask Vice Minister Mu for you."

"Revered Master~"

A soft and wheedling call rang out.

"I've suddenly become very curious about the matter of the guixu immortal ferry boat and want to continue listening to your conversation."

"Is this something a little Nascent Soul like you should be worrying about?"

Chen Xuan knew this Eldest Disciple's personality all too well. As long as he was by her side, she would be completely relaxed and lazy, like a lazy frog that only jumps when poked.

"Oh, Revered Master, can you please stop talking about my Realm..."

Seeing that her acting spoiled was fruitless, Mu Wanqing could only puff out her cheeks and shuffle toward the stone gate with a look of slight grievance.

Yun Xuanxuan stepped forward at the right time and said softly: "Senior Sister, why don't we go together? At critical moments, we can look out for each other."

Mu Wanqing instantly beamed with joy and reached out to take her Junior Sister's hand.

"No problem! If we encounter obstacles, Senior Sister will definitely protect you!"

While speaking grand words, Mu Wanqing secretly sighed in her heart—the youngest Junior Sister is indeed the most thoughtful.
